# Pricing

Cloudback uses a **per-workspace pricing model** for Linear, with units calculated from the number of active workspace members. Pricing is tiered so that small teams stay inexpensive and large teams scale gradually.

## How Units Work for Linear

Each Linear workspace with backups enabled consumes units based on the number of **active, non-app members** in the workspace. The tiers are progressive - each member is billed against the band they fall in:

| Member position in workspace | Units per member |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Members 1-5                  | 2 units each     |
| Members 6-25                 | 4 units each     |
| Members 26 and above         | 6 units each     |

The minimum is **2 units per workspace**. App users (bots/integrations) and suspended members are excluded from the count.

### Examples

| Workspace size     | Units consumed | Calculation              |
| ------------------ | -------------- | ------------------------ |
| 1 active member    | 2              | 1 × 2                    |
| 5 active members   | 10             | 5 × 2                    |
| 6 active members   | 14             | 5 × 2 + 1 × 4            |
| 10 active members  | 30             | 5 × 2 + 5 × 4            |
| 25 active members  | 90             | 5 × 2 + 20 × 4           |
| 26 active members  | 96             | 5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 1 × 6   |
| 50 active members  | 240            | 5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 25 × 6  |
| 100 active members | 540            | 5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 75 × 6  |
| 250 active members | 1,440          | 5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 225 × 6 |

If you back up multiple workspaces, units add up across all of them. Units are also shared across all connected accounts and platforms.

The unit count is **recalculated automatically** after each successful backup (and on reconnect) using the current member count returned by the Linear API.

### Free Plan Exception

The free plan provides 1 free backup slot per connected account. For Linear, this means **one workspace can use the free slot regardless of how many members it has** - the normal unit count is bypassed for that slot.

For full plan details, pricing tables, and billing cycle options, see [Pricing](/account-and-billing-management/pricing.md).
